Quantum of Solace is the latest installment in James Bond series of movies. The Bond series began with Sean Connery's 'Doctor No' released in 1962. Quantum means of small quantity or too little, Solace means = Comfort. So Quantum of Solace = Little Comfort. This is a very unusual James Bond title (compared to other). It has this deep literature touch. Ian Fleming's every novel has this in them. Diamonds are Forever (Novel) perfectly depicted that times economical state. But Movie Makers always ignores the meaning behind books. Every Book to Movie adaption seems to follow this. Bond Movies are all about high-tech cars, weapons, new fashion cloths and of course chicks 
The character of James Bond was created in times of America-Russia cold-war. That time people needed a superhero who infiltrates enemy camp alone and returns back safely with his love, girls of the enemy's side are crazy about him. The character gave people the false sense of superority. Sean Connery gave a life to the character on silver screen, and when the Bond brand was on its top, he pulled out. saying no to any more bond movies. A brave decision I must say. Even after Connery, James bond movies continued to be produced, but nobody did it as good as Sean Connery. People still miss him.
Now the war is over (been long), Its peace time. So whats the need of character like James Bond now? Can James Bond save the world from Global Warming? Can he catch Osama Bin Laden? SuperHeroes like Spiderman, Superman or James Bond can't eradicate today's problem - the finanncial-economical crisis. Imagined heroes can only solve imagined problems! In real world they are just #fail
